Experience Template Distribution for Device Configuration
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current user devices lack an efficient method to share and replicate device experiences across different platforms, leading to configuration complexities and inconsistencies when transferring settings and interactions between devices.
Innovation Solution
The development of experience templates that encapsulate user preferences, interface themes, network settings, and interaction sequences, allowing for the generation, distribution, and translation of device experiences across various user devices, enabling seamless replication and adaptation of device configurations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If device experiences are manually configured on each device, then configuration precision is maintained, but configuration time and operational complexity increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates experience templates that capture the complete device experience configuration from a source device and copies it to target devices. The experience module generates a template containing all settings, preferences, and interaction sequences, which can then be distributed and applied to multiple devices, eliminating manual configuration while preserving exact configuration precision.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary configuration on a source device, captures it as an experience template, and stores it for future distribution. This preliminary action allows the configuration to be prepared once and then rapidly deployed to multiple devices without repeating the entire configuration process, significantly reducing configuration time.
2Ease of operation
If device settings are customized for each device, then user experience quality is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The experience template system provides universal configuration that can be applied across multiple devices with different hardware and software configurations. The template contains device-agnostic settings and preferences that maintain consistent user experience quality across diverse device platforms without requiring complex device-specific customization for each device.
Solution Approach 2:
Instead of manually configuring each device individually (which increases complexity), the system copies a pre-configured experience template to multiple devices. This copying approach maintains high user experience quality through consistent settings while dramatically reducing the operational complexity of managing configurations across multiple devices.
3Stability of the object's composition
If experience templates are distributed across multiple devices, then configuration consistency is improved, but data transmission requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The experience module extracts only the essential configuration data needed for device experience into a compact template format. By taking out only the relevant settings, preferences, and interaction sequences (and not entire device states or redundant data), the system achieves configuration consistency across devices while minimizing the data transmission volume required to distribute templates.

AI summary
User devices such as electronic book readers may be configured to provide a particular device experience. This device experience may comprise settings of a user interface, states of one or more applications or modules executing on the device, timing of events, and so forth. Settings, state information, timing, and so forth describing the device experience may be stored as an experience template. This experience template may be distributed to other user devices, allowing those other devices to experience the same or similar experiences.
